Graham Marsden I'll try it tomorrow if I skate. I do like the hand down thumb roll technique though. I always picture grabbing and swinging around a pole and it seems to help me get more inverted over going around the bend

That move doesn't work so well for me. Partially torn rotator cuff on the left, from falling in the bowl, hard to raise my arm up and back. It's so bad I have to usually ask someone else to help peel me out of my wetsuit. I don't even have the strength to pull my arm up and out of the sleeve, can't scratch my own back anymore either. Old age sucks!

So when I saw the video of Ant learning this turn Clayton told him to act like he was tossing a ball to a toddler and just roll the thumb over. I've been using that method ever since.

My brain knows that...my body will catch up. I'll get it. I'm off work tomorrow, gonna spend a few hours working it out instead of cramming it into my 20 mins pre work sessions.

Scott Wagenblast yea I get mad at myself for jumping off on a lot of these cause once I do I realize "oh, could have made that one." But in the moment the fear takes over. Couple more days of practice and I think I'll have it dialed in.

Scott Wagenblast it does. The blue paint is actually the end of it but when you're approaching it the dirt run off kinda tricks my eye sometimes and unnerves me a little. Took a screen shot to show you.

Bottom line is I just gotta stop being afraid of it. And practice my backside turns more, for some reason I learned frontside first and am just way more relaxed with that one.

Yea I noticed that watching the clips after. That little ledge is deceiving cause it has a little line of dirt or something that comes straight down from it and makes it hard to judge if I'm gonna hit it or not.

Definitely gotta get my head around though and not fear it so much.

I hate airs In competitions. Watching John john do a huge hack on a wave if so much better. I know my comment is years late but this year's WSL finals italo did the same air every wave for 4 rounds. Thankfully John won with huge hacks.

Brian Young just doubled checked They are in all communities. Again sort by newest and scroll back 23+ days.

Brian Young on the app I just click community at bottom and home from the list of options. I assumed that covered both communities but I don't know. They start about 23-24 days ago and go forward from there. I believe that they are all posted by Clayton, but some might be under the original submitters name (not 100% sure about that.). They are there though.

Scrolling through the posts is weird sometimes if you have it sorted by newest activity cause every comment bumps a potential older post to the top of the list. Try sorting by newest and scroll back about 23 days.
